The Mormon Church (LDS or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) is well known for their collection of genealogy records.

There is much information contained in their databases but finding what you are searching for can be tricky. Be sure to try various spellings of the surname and first name. Even try using first initials if you can't find the person you are searching for by using their full name. Checking "Exact Spelling" will search for the name spelled in ONLY the way you have entered it in the search engine and therefore will put a limit on results. This option is not recommended in your initial search. Good Luck!

Mormon (LDS) Church's huge genealogy record collection...@....

The Granite Mountain Records Vault, located a mile up Little Cottonwood Canyon.

The Granite Mountain vault that is underneath 700 feet of granite outside of Salt Lake City but very few have ever seen the inside of the vault. FamilySearch has released videos that give all of us a view into the operations behind the vault door.

I was especially impressed with the comments that not only are microfilms stored and duplicated in the Granite Mountain Records Vault, but efforts now underway will result in all the microfilms eventually being digitized. Future plans include making all images available to everyone, worldwide, in the convenience of their homes.

Many of the images stored in the Granite Mountain Records Vault are the only copies left in existence.

The Granite Mountain Records Vault videos are available in two parts:
